Facilitators Jobs in Kenya - NGO

Duma Works is recruiting Seed Transformation Program Facilitators for Stanford University Global LLC.

Stanford University Global LLC is pleased to announce its expansion to Nairobi, Kenya, and seeks qualified candidates for the position of Stanford Institute for Innovation in Developing Economies (Seed) Transformation Program Facilitator. 
Building on Stanford’s decades-long history of educating innovators in Silicon Valley, Seed is now bringing this innovative mindset and practical business training to entrepreneurs in Africa.

The 6-month-long Seed Transformation Program (STP) curriculum is customized for founders and senior leaders of high-potential small and medium-sized companies in developing economies who have the potential to, and are committed to, growing and scaling their businesses.

During a 4 individual week-long, highly interactive sessions over six months, leaders/founders will be exposed to, and deploy, tools and methodologies to help grow and transform their businesses.

In seeking transformative growth of businesses, traditional classroom learning is not enough.
